Delicious Puertorrican food. Small place but so flavorful. Had arroz con gandules, pernil, maduros and mofongo with caldo. It was all very tasty and authentic. Staff was very friendly. We signed our name on their wall. The coconut flan was so flavorful. Wish I had room to try more.
Being married to a Puerto Rican who is an amazing cook, I always have extremely high standard for PR food, this place hit all expectations and more. The minute you walk in you are greeted with that amazing Puerto Rican friendly warm culture that really makes you feel like family. Very nice and updated inside, not a lot of seating so could be an issue when busy and would imagine they get pretty busy because the food is so good. We went way overboard on the order but glad we did, everything was amazing, fresh imported Morcilla from the Island, Empanadillas, Queso Frito, Yuca Fries, Tostones, Carne Frita, Churrasco, Mofongo, fresh made Limber, Tres Leches. This is the closet to real Island PR food. My wife was so impressed with everything, said she felt like she was back on her Island. Whether you have had PR food before or not go try this place asap!
From the moment I walked inside I knew I was in for a treat. They greeted me with a warm hello and didnt bat an eye when I answered with Spanish slang. The promise of Puerto Rican goodness and the music made me revert to my teenage Spanglish. I had dinner for one, as my worst trip friend was busy that night - but I have thought about that dinner for the last month! Arroz mamposteao, pollo a la plancha. tostones and jugo de parcha - everything was AMAZING. And not just in the "I haven't had this food lately" way. On my way out. I bought dessert to go. This will be a must stop everytime I'm in the springs!
Passing through the Springs, we had dropped our friend off at the airport. Next was food. We do try to select local spots and not chains as much as possible when traveling. The food was soooooooo succulent and flavorful!! The mango salsa was nice and HOT!! Service was great. Order to go at the counter or have a seat and someone will come take your order as we did. Lots of locals do to-go I noticed. It's a mellow place with chill ambiance. 2 rooms in a plaza next to a liquor store. One of the two rooms had walls tagged with markers from locals. That's the ordering side with the counter. The other side, the seating area had cleaner walls with a few murals of Puerto Rico nostalgia. Definitely coming back next time passing through!
Walked in and asked the receptionist for a recommendation for dinner. She opened the box of another order and suggested this, so I got it. I also ordered a passion fruit fruit drink and was quite happy with both! Very tasty food. The entree was $13, and the drink was $4.50. She included a couple of sauces with my order, and both were very flavorful and memorable. One was a white sauce type, and the other was a spicy sauce. I used them both! The outside of this little hole in the wall is easy to miss, and the parking lot is jam-packed with other businesses. There are a few tables inside, which were all full. My one complaint is that there was one very large chunk of just fat in my order. No meat, just fat. I'm not sure if this was intentional, but I don't really enjoy a mouthful of rubbery fat. Maybe some people do? I'm not sure, but I will likely be a returning customer!
Food was AMAZING. Hefty portions and great prices. Will definitely be back! I would only say to give dining in customers metal utensils as it was hard to cut meat. Other than that 10/10
Wow this is an amazing place for Puerto Rican fare. I have only had Puerto Rican food once or twice but this is really good. Service is great and they are super friendly and helpful. We got their specials which change daily. We basically got a mofongo with fried pork on top and had teriyaki sauce it was good but the sauce was a bit salty. The pork was great though and the mofongo was very tasty and well seasoned. The other dish we got was a fried chicken breast which was fried well but not seasoned much so it was probably our least favorite thing. It came with tostones which was nice and crispy. We were also given a mayo ketchup and passion fruit hot sauce which I enjoyed a lot! You can get more if you like. The beef empanada we got was freshly fried and nice. For dessert we got a guava flan which was a bit different than what we expected but still enjoyed it though. The texture tasted a bit more like cheesecake so it's a bit dense but we liked the taste the more we ate it. Overall a great hole in the wall place with authentic food and sweet service.
This restaurant offered a good variety of Puerto Rican dishes. I had a passion fruit drink with the shrimp mofongo in garlic sauce. The mofongo and shrimp were good and the portion was generous. I was expecting the garlic sauce to be oil based but instead it was milk based. I didn't like the sauce. I also preferred the passion fruit juice to have a little more sweetness. The employee was friendly and the atmosphere was very much like back on the island. The dining room space is limited and also the parking lot.
Our boricua Hermano came into town and he had heard about this PR gem here in Colorado Springs y Dios Mio, we found it! La gente are amazing and so beautiful! Cutomer service is beyond expectations, the food it is incredibly good. We could not stop eating. Even the kids loved it, I say that cause you know they be picky AF lol ! Highly recommend it! I love Puerto Rican cuisine! We are so full and beyond happy!

Delicious!!! Omg I've never tried Puerto Rican food before and why haven't I?! So yummy!! We started off with beef empanadas perfectly seasoned & crispy not at all greasy so good!! We also had the fried cheese with guava dip OMG!! A revelation the cheese block was crispy and so soft and pillowy with a light flavor then you dip it in the guava - perfection!! I had maracuya (passion fruit) juice and a fried pork (kind of similar to carnitas) that was delicious with pickled onion and fresh avocado & Puerto Rican rice. Really good - it had gandules in it (little beans) or pidgeon peas- they taste very similar to lentils only they are a little rounder & a little bigger - I really enjoyed them. It also had cilantro in it. My husband had a strewed pork plate (pork loin) with the pickled onions, rice & sweet plantains (how I love them!!) his was also very good. My daughter the shrimp & mofongo with the garlic sauce and salad (that garlic sauce was Amazing!) The place is on a corner in a shopping center so easy to find, service is a little slow because it's a small place but they are on top of things & the quality is there! It's very clean, they are all extremely nice & very helpful. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you want to taste something new - freshly made with pride and service with a smile, read more

I don't know much Spanish as much as I try. I'm dyslexic and I struggle with reading in general. The folks here are some of the nicest people I've ever met in town! Mama helped me pick from the menu and get settled at a table. I got the crazy fries with steak and some fried plantains. The salsa is the best I've ever had. The crazy fries are so good! Very large portion good for sharing! Wonderful lively atmosphere! I will def be back!! read more

Oh my goodness, first time trying this place. Let me tell y'all this is legit. I tried the blood sausage for the first time and they were amazing. We then had the garlic shrimp, pernil the portions are not small, we could not finish our food. The prices are not bad at all for the amount of food you get. Everything was out of this world, crazy good, don't know how to even describe it. But as good as the food was the services was even better. They explain everything in the event you don't speak-o or habla. Check my peeps out for sure read more
